A Dream of Passion: The Development of the Method

A good book for a better understanding of Strasberg's Method, but it by no means is a how-to instructive guide. It's best when used in conjunction with a reputable Method class (such as from the likes of Strasberg's protege, David Gideon in NYC). At times, the book is a real slog as the writing is dusty dry.

My binky very encouraging and insightful book as an actress love it ! I read it over and over !

I was studying with Lee when he wrote this book. He new an actors training came not from a book,but from doing the work he so carefully describes in 'A Dream of Passion'. His words are precis yet open to the inspiration of art. Use this book as an excellent foundation - find your guides who know it better than you and continue this process we call 'the work'. A must read for actors attempting to reach the highest levels. John Mathews

We have been told to never judge a book by it's cover, this saying goes true with A Dream of Passion as well. I was told to read this book by many aspiring and already successful actors alike, and on the outside the book doesn't seem like much at all. But on the inside it's a completely different story. Highly recommended read, my thanks to the shipper who got my copy to me in an instant and in amazing condition!

One of the books you need to have in your shelf as an actor.

good tips, basic understanding of the method

Great book for anyone who is interested in learning about contemporary theatre history, and a base line understanding of the core tenets of The Method.

it's really good to know more about the author

He was probably the one who knew best Stanislavsky theories on acting. Strasberg taught acting to many Hollywood icons: Marylin, James Dean & many, many others

Ich habe das Buch einer Freundin geschenkt die Schauspiel studiert. Sie war begeistert

Nice.

This book is amazing I recently bought this book and completed in 1 week, and I have learnt so much.

Good book but not worth the money.... The content is good but poor quality. Poor quality of paper and bind. Disappointed
